WIP Wednesday

I’ve been searching for my sewjo recently, but I haven’t felt very inspired. There are so many beautiful quilts out there, and I see so much progress and innovation every day on Instagram and at the Music City MQG meetings, but I haven’t felt like anything has made me excited enough to actually start a new quilt. But with our recent weather I wanted to take advantage of being snowed in, so I jumped on the Pixelated Heart QAL hashtag on Instagram, hosted by @SewKellySews. Just what I needed!

I marathoned season 2 of the Serial podcast while picking fabrics from my scraps (pinks and reds for the heart, low volume prints for the background), cutting 5″ squares, deciding the layout, and sewing together 3 blocks (6 to go!) over the weekend. I’m hoping to finish it up by Valentine’s Day, fingers crossed!
